(5/6) Moderate overestimation predicts stronger empathic responses toward strangers and greater relationship satisfaction in romantic couples. Sometimes being a bit “off” helps us connect and care. 🤝

(1/6) Really excited to share that our new paper is out in Nature Communications! 🎉 We asked a simple but surprisingly unexplored question: How accurate are we at judging the intensity of others’ emotions?

Preprint alert! 🚨 Ever tried talking to ChatGPT or Claude 🤖 about emotional events? How did you feel about the response? A thread on my recent work with @AnatPerry, in collaboration with @Amit_Goldenb @FedeZimmerman @joannazli and @_desmond_ong #AI #Research #Empathy 1/

💔 Don't forget what started this war. 101 hostages are still in #Gaza #BringThemAllHomeNOW

Must watch: A Palestinian describes his visit to the Auschwitz extermination camp: "God wiling you will return to the camp... you belong here." These ideas are common among Palestinians, and now we're seeing them in campuses across the US... #Antisemitism #FreePalestine

Honored to present our #MOGAD project at the NEWrology conference🧠. Grateful for the guidance of my PI @AdiVaknindem and the collaboration with co-authors @ZveikO @LyneShweik01 Tali and Garrick.

FT.05.06 - OVERESTIMATION OF EMOTIONAL INTENSITY ACROSS MULTIPLE MODALITIES @AnatPerry @NogaCohen2

When we try to understand others' emotions, how accurate are we? Do we over- or underestimate their intensity? Our 5 studies with texts, videos, & live interactions show we lean towards overestimation. Learn more about our findings at #SAS2024, Mar 2, 4:45 PM. #AffectiveScience

Did you ever watch an interview with children who survived a massacre? These children from Kibbutz Beeri (A village in Israel), survived the massacre of October 7th. Some of their family members were slaughtered by Hamas-ISIS, some of their friends from school are kidnapped by Hamas-ISIS in Gaza. Look into their eyes. If you live in the USA - a massacre like the one in Israel would mean 52,400 Americans murdered and 8609 kidnapped. If you live in Germany - a massacre like the one in Israel would mean 12,914 Germans murdered and 2122 kidnapped. If you live in the Uk - a massacre like the one in Israel would mean 10,457 Brits murdered and 1718 kidnapped. How would your country respond in order to ensure its borders are safe? There is no occupation in Gaza, and the siege, which is both from the Israeli AND the Egyptian side started only after Hamas started firing rockets towards Israel. Would your country let a terror organization fire rockets aimed towards civilians on a daily basis? Step a mile in our shoes. The children of Israel & Gaza will be safe when Hamas will be annihilated. #HamasisISIS #BeforeOct7 #FreePalestineFromHamas

This - the greatest European speech on the Hamas murder raid, Israel war vs Hamas, rising antiJewish racism and toxic sham ‘history’ of Decolonisation - is deeply moving. Its decency and moral clarity is striking…

Let’s see if this will be enough or some of the international media, or would they still report that “According to #HamasISIS it was an Israeli attack..”

UNRWA, you can delete tweets because of threats from Hamas, but you cannot hide the reality - Hamas is a terrorist organization that not only harms Israelis but also the residents of Gaza! @UNRWA

I am crying. So sad

Hear this in Arabic!!

🤖💔 The 'artificial-empathy paradox':AI-generated empathy is convincing and well received, until recipients realize it is artificial. In a Correspondence published in @NatureHumBehav I elucidate this phenomenon #AIRevolution #HumanEmpathy #ArificialEmpathy #AIlimitations
